Rivers of Steel showcases the artistry and innovation of southwestern Pennsylvania’s industrial and cultural heritage by fostering dynamic initiatives and transformative experiences.
Rivers of Steel's 2024 Year in Review
For nearly 35 years, Rivers of Steel has been led by our visionary president and CEO, August R. Carlino. With quiet determination, Augie has guided us toward revitalizing the region, blending the industrial might of our past with the promise of a new era. His leadership has transformed Rivers of Steel into a dynamic force for community renewal, heritage tourism, and cultural preservation across the eight counties of the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. As he prepares for retirement, we invite you to celebrate the tremendous impact he has had on our organization-and our region.
This year, with the support of more than 100 partners and nearly 20,000 participants in our programs, we reached milestones that inspire and humble us.
In 2024, Rivers of Steel:
• launched an industrial preservation workforce development program;
• expanded our multiyear creative leadership residencies;
• welcomed a record number of visitors on tours at the Carrie Blast Furnaces;
• awarded mini-grants to support local nonprofits;
• celebrated community partners through storytelling; and
• made substantial progress on the preservation of the Carrie Blast Furnaces.
Revitalizing communities through heritage tourism, preservation, creative placemaking, educational programming, and investment in local leadership is no small feat. It takes the dedication of community partners, a passionate and innovative staff, the generosity of funders, and the engagement of individuals and families across the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area.

Enjoyed this ! 🪕
Incredibly inspiring 😊
Who knew a vegetable could sound so good?!
Thank for sharing Alex! Hope you are doing well!
The deep history of regional music is fascinating.
Thanks, I also am from the South Hills (Pleasant Hills) and still can't play my banjo. 3rd or 4th try at Banjo 101 but maybe in retirement .
I can see Pleasant Hills from my window! And I have family there, too. Happy to help with any and all banjo needs!
Gary and Bly make WAY&SF really special! Love this place!!
Yay Susie T!
Wow this is beautiful! I’ve never seen anything like this before, what incredible creativity 🙌🏻🙌🏻
No view of the beautiful pump house, just jaw flapping? Much disappointment!
I worked with line shaft driven machines and helped convert them over to individual motor driven machines. It’s a lost art would like to go back to that time.

I truly enjoyed my visit last fall. I'm looking forward to coming back to the Pittsburgh area and when I do, I hope to take the tour that tells about the plants that have come back to this industrial site.
Very exciting things going on at Rivers of Steel. They certainly deserve your support!
Great project!
